Short description

Short video animations giving a bird's eye view of insects' day to day existence, distorted through a burlesque, yet poetic lens.

Season	Episodes	Release date	Rating
Season 1 Come with us on a journey into the secret and magical world of insects. The bright and colourful characters will delight you as they go about their eccentric adventures. Mixing 3D animated characters with stunning real life locations, Minuscule is a series that children will enjoy again and again.	78	2006-10-25	9.5
Season 2 Following on from the worldwide success of season 1, Minuscule season 2 continues to follow a mischievous ladybird, a depressed mosquito, an inept jumping spider and a greedy fly. Imagine a National Geographic style documentary without dialog or commentary, just quirky, offbeat insects.	97	2011-04-02	4.5

Brands are virtually absent from the series. Those that do appear are either hidden, fictional, or outright farcical.
Human faces are shown unclearly and blurred.
There is almost no dialogue in the series. The few lines that do exist are spoken indistinctly. In the second season, the speech becomes even more unintelligible.
